Hi,
Thanks for your comments Bob. I should have mentioned that I had already fixed the flutter problem and am now in process of regulating. As William mentioned it takes lots of patience. I’ve gotten it pretty close now. My biggest issue with all that was getting spring centered so that pendulum didn’t wobble around and hit sides of cup at base. Getting the spring the right length was a bit of a challenge as well. Lot of trial and error there.
I have gotten the auto assembly removed from the Longines now. Been kind of down with sinuses lately but I may take that assembly apart and clean it tonight if I feel up to it. Taking pictures of that step that I’ll post once I get it finished. A lot of people seem intimidated by the auto device and they may enjoy seeing it apart.
Thanks,
Charles K
